Operating modes

  • Adapt the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. A space of less than the height of one full tooth should be visible under the workpiece.

Loosen the clamping lever (10). For a smaller cutting depth, pull the saw away from the base plate (13); for a larger cutting depth, push the saw towards the base plate (13). Adjust the desired cutting depth at the cutting-depth scale. Retighten the clamping lever (10).

The clamping force of the clamping lever (10) can be readjusted. To do so, unscrew the clamping lever (10) and retighten it in a position offset by at least 30° in an anticlockwise direction.

Note: If the ProCORE18V 12.0Ah battery is used, this may sit on the workpiece during working. Consequently, the maximum cutting depth cannot be reached.

The cut mark (12) indicates the position of the saw blade when making a right-angled cut.

For a precise cut, place the circular saw against the workpiece as shown in the figure. We recommend making a test cut.

Your power tool is equipped with a utility hook (3) for hanging it to a ladder, for example. Simply fold out the utility hook (3) to the required position.

  • When the power tool is hanging by the utility hook, ensure that the saw blade is protected against unintended contact in order to prevent injury.

Fold the utility hook (3) in again when you want to begin work with the power tool.

Caution: Do not touch the protective guard with chip container (2) and the metal chips with bare hands immediately after operation. These parts can be very hot and cause skin burns.

Do not cut material which has had thinner, petrol, grease or other chemicals applied to it. The metal chips produced by such materials could damage the protective guard with chip container (2) and lead to a break that could cause personal injury.

The metal chips are collected in the chip container of the protective guard (2). Empty the chip container at regular intervals.

To do this, push the chip container locking mechanism (25) upwards. Open the lid of the chip container (24) and tilt the power tool sideways to empty the chip container. After emptying, close the lid of the chip container (24) and lock the chip container again.
